Drivers who use Tesco petrol pumps told to 'wake up' over £120 change

Drivers who use Tesco to fill up their vehicle have been told to "wake up" over a £120 change. It comes after one customer noticed a sign while filling up.

On Twitter, @CromwellStuff created a viral thread about the changes. They posted a yellow sign which tells drivers about a new pre-authorisation change for those paying at the pump.

Birmingham Live reports those who use pay at the pump have a pre-authorisation charge which happens when they tap or insert their card at a petrol pump's card reader before filling up. Previously, anyone using the pay-at-pump service would have to undergo an 'active card check', where their bank or card company checks whether or not their payment card is real by seeing whether or not it's able to reserve £1 from it.
